Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The spectacular Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most unique natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the crater is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife within its dramatic volcanic caldera.

Ngorongoro offers one of the best opportunities in Tanzania to see the Big Five — lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino — in a single game drive. Its rich grasslands, freshwater lakes, and acacia forests create a diverse ecosystem that supports thousands of animals year-round.

At African Hiking Tours and Safari, our Ngorongoro safari tours are carefully designed to maximize wildlife viewing, comfort, and safety. Whether combined with Serengeti, Tarangire, or Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro is a must-visit destination for any Tanzania safari itinerary.
